He died a natural death. It’s not a crime.
cause of death: the natural impact of cement on the body experienced after a perfectly natural fall

Yes, the police said he fell down an elevator shaft. Onto some bullets.
Russia be slippery. My heart goes out to these rare brave souls in a land of cowards.
Ballet stars, and their notoriously poor balance.
He seems to have astonishing balance for someone with one leg
Coming soon to a city near you!
As far as I read, he had a
legspinal injury and an operation scheduled (bad stuff for a ballet dancer - you can’t work with an injuredlegspine) and was experiencing difficulties with alcohol and painkillers (the latter for the injury). He might have felt that his career was doomed.As far as I read, he called his girlfriend (or maybe ex-wife, as the article suggests) and asked her to visit him. When she arrived, he had already fallen.
He was characterized as optimistic and nobody had noticed a death wish. Then again, during injury, pain, inability to work, (self-)medication and maybe withdrawal symptoms, other people’s predictions of character may not entirely apply to every person.
The balcony was described as not the safest place on Earth. It doesn’t require a detective to suspect that being under the influence of strong painkillers might increase the risk.
He can’t be characterized as an opposition figure, or a figure of power. There is no clear beneficiary or motive.
As for war and statements against it - he was an artist, a dancer in a publicly funded theatre, and limited by that in what he could say without losing his job. Since it seems that he had reasonable political opinions, inability to voice them without experiencing retribution probably didn’t make him cheerful.
